It is not beneficial for the residents in the Stadley Rough area of Danbury to have a 140-foot cell tower in their front and back yards.

In a residential area, especially next to schools and children's playgrounds, we need to keep our environment healthy.

It can get quite foggy in this area from September through November. There are large predatory birds in the area; small migratory birds and small- and medium-sized wildlife live here and pass by. Will any birds hit the tower and fall dead or injured in our yards?

There are low-flying aircraft, seaplanes, helicopters, etc. Expect an aeronautical light to be put on top of the 140-foot cell tower.

The tower's proposed building site, a 50 x 90 compound inside a 100 x 100 leased area, would consist of a 140-foot cell tower with four flush-mounted antennas. Also equipment buildings for other carriers. A 175-foot gravel driveway with a turn-a-round which would connect to the compound.

This is a large commercial project, projecting into homes and wetland areas. Everything will be clear cut. Trees and vegetation, plant life. All of which is scarce.

People, children and wildlife will be impacted. Our health put in jeopardy. Our homes devalued.
